[rkishanb]

Hello All & Greetings.

I am loking for any material from any source that will tell me what happens when you have a Windows Server serving as a DHCP / DNS server in a Cisco Routing / Switching environment, in terms of show command output, issues to look out for, best way to manage / troubleshoot in this environment, etc.

Any links / referneces will be appreciated much.

Thanks.

Hello Sir:

Greetings and thanks for the link.

I am still pursuing the link material but have an initial question and that is, if I am working at the console (hyperterminal or telnet), would I be able to find the DHCP / DNS info, even though both DHCP /DNS services are being provided by Windows Server and how-to troubleshoot any problems with DHCP / DNS in such a situation. That's really what I am trying to find info / material / links, etc about. So if you can provide me links for that also, I will appreciate it very much.

Again, thanks for the valuable link you sent my way. Really appreciate it.

Regards.

Hello,

here is another link to a document that describes troubleshooting techniques when using an external DHCP server:

Understanding and Troubleshooting DHCP in Catalyst Switch or Enterprise Networks

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk361/technologies_tech_note09186a00800f0804.shtml

And this one is for DNS:

Configuring DNS on Cisco Routers

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk362/technologies_tech_note09186a00800c525f.shtml

Basically, the troubleshooting consists of debugging and looking for problems with the ports that DNS and DHCP are using...

HTH,
